Who Should I Start? Dylan Sampson or Bhayshul Tuten

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson had arguably the best game of his career in Week 12's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, handling seven carries for 23 yards with two receptions (three targets) for 59 yards and a touchdown. It was Sampson's second career touchdown; his first also came on a reception back in Week 2, and he posted his second-most yards from scrimmage in a game, trailing only his 93-yard performance in Week 1. The rookie fourth-rounder totaled 27 touches in the first two weeks, but his role in Cleveland's offense decreased after fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins returned to the team in Week 2. From Weeks 3 through 11, Sampson played just 18.7% of the snaps with 25 total touches. He was dynamic in Cleveland's Week 12 win, however, taking a simple screen pass from Shedeur Sanders 66 yards for a touchdown. Judkins is still the clear lead back, but Sampson's pass-catching ability could make him fantasy viable in deeper PPR leagues moving forward.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten was unable to find much success in the running game during Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Tuten rushed the ball seven times for 17 yards in the overtime victory. It's worth noting that Tuten did carry an ankle injury into this game, so possibly that impacted his performance on the field. In Week 11, Tuten rushed for 74 yards with a touchdown in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie back remains the backup, but should continue seeing nearly double digit carries per week. His struggles this week could make fantasy managers hesitant, but he does head into a plus matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13.
